Hello, guys. I have a problem flashing my WL-330gE. The problem is as follows. I try to flash through the web gui which has a section "Firmware Upgrade". There it shows the model index (WL-330gE) and the current firmware version number (2.0.1.6) and offers to upgrade it. Before flashing I did 30-30-30 procedure. When I choose a dd-wrt firmware to upload it loads it for some time and then it shows a page which says "Firmware Upgrading Fails. It may result from incorrect image or error transmission. Please check the version of firmware and try again." and then it reboots the AP. I tried the following versions of firmware: dd-wrt.v24-12548_NEWD_mini.bin, dd-wrt.v24-12548_NEWD_mini_asus.trx, and dd-wrt.v24-11296_NEWD_mini.bin. Result is always the same. The system from which I try to flash is Windows Vista SP1, I turned off the windows firewall. What could be wrong?

Just like Thamior, I have also given DD-WRT a try on my WL330gE however I also didn't succeed in getting DD-wrt to work on my WL330gE.

Sadly the Asus WL330gE is not in the supported hardware table so for a newbie like me it is hard to figure out what trx/bin file I should use to get dd-wrt on it. Nor is it clear what method I should use for getting it to work on the wl330ge. Could someone who succeeded in getting it working point us/me into the right direction to make this kick-ass router even more kick-ass!

5. Now while holding down the reset button on the router plug the power back in and wait until the power light on the router does a slow blink. This puts the router into firmware recovery mode.

6. Statically set your computer to an address of 192.168.1.20 or something else in the 192.168.1.0/24 range that is NOT 192.168.1.220 and set the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 (I know this is redundant because I already said 192.168.1.0/24 but let's be nice to the kids that don't know CIDR notation ok.)

7. Launch the ASUS Firmware Restoration tool

8. select the firmware file that you downloaded from the second link.

9. click on "Upload"

10. now hold your breath and wait for a little while.

11. once it's says that it's done try and web into 192.168.1.1 and you should see the good old dd-wrt screen.

Well, you need to set your Wan port.
eth1 seems to be the wifi device which results in weird behavior.
Setting the wan port to eth0 will mean the only port the device has is the Wan port. Meaning futher configuration will have to be done using wifi!

:) well, this I've done yesterady and lost connection to 330gE because wifi doesn't work.
I'll try to play with port setting and hope make it work.
